Hendry Barrel Fermented Chard 2020 750ml

Lemon yellow color. On the nose, sweet baked apple fruit, floral aromas, soft and dusty oak, and toasted marshmallow/burnt sugar. Medium-bodied. Young now, with nectarine and apple fruit, and passionfruit acid. Lemon zest in the finish. The fattiness of salmon, especially in a sauce with lemon, would bring out the best in this wine, as would gnocchi in a creamy sauce. We recently “road-tested” the Barrel Fermented Chardonnay with an array of cheeses and found it to be one of our most versatile wines with cheese, charcuterie, etc.
